Method
Step 1: Grease a 7–8 inch tin and bring water to a rolling boil in your steamer.
Step 2: Whisk the besan, semolina, sugar, salt, Haldi, ginger-chilli paste, lemon juice, oil and water into a smooth, flowing batter. Rest for 10 minutes.
Step 3: Just before steaming, add the Eno, pour 1 tsp of water over it, and stir quickly in one direction — the batter will turn frothy and rise. Pour it into the tin straight away.
Step 4: Steam on medium-high for 15–18 minutes, until a knife comes out clean. Let it cool for 5 minutes, then cut into squares.
Step 5: For the tadka, heat the oil and add the Rai. When it splutters, add the Sesame Seeds, Hing, curry leaves and green chillies. Add ½ cup water and 1 tbsp sugar, bring to a boil, and spoon evenly over the dhokla. Top with coriander and coconut.
Have the steamer boiling before the Eno goes in — the batter starts losing its rise the moment it's mixed.
